Brief description: The teaching, to be recorded at Kagyu College, Dehradun, India, and organised by Marpa Lobdra, Germany, will be given in Tibetan with English translation, and will be available to view by the end of each day (India time).
Event details: ‘The King of Aspiration Prayer for Noble Conduct’ (Arya Samantabhadracarya Pranidhana Raja) is one of the most profound and widely revered aspiration prayers in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. This prayer, spoken by Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, encapsulates the complete path of the bodhisattva—from generating pure intention and engaging in virtuous conduct to dedicating all merit for the benefit of all sentient beings.
During this teaching, participants will receive a detailed introduction to the meaning and purpose of the prayer, together with guidance on how to apply its verses in daily practice. This is a valuable opportunity for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of bodhisattva conduct, and the power of aspiration and dedication.

Brief description: Karma is a Sanskrit word which means ‘action’. Karma refers to the doctrine of actions and their causal consequences. These three talks by senior teacher Karma Wangchuk Lhamo are given in Tibetan with English translation. [This event was originally webcast in July 2019 as Event ID 220.]
Event details: The concept of karma includes, in its causal aspect, both the actual actions (physical, verbal and mental) and the psychological imprints and tendencies created within the mind by such actions. After the commitment of an action a causal chain is maintained within the mental continuum which continues through successive events and rebirths. Such a karmic potential is later activated when it interacts with appropriate circumstances and conditions thus leading to the fruition of its effects. In general, if we act motivated by greed, anger, or delusion, we are planting the seed of suffering; when our acts are motivated by generosity, love, or wisdom, then we are creating the karmic conditions for openness and happiness.
Karma Wangchuk Lhamo was ordained at Thrangu Tara Abbey at the age of sixteen. In 1999 she entered solitary retreat for three years in Manang, Nepal. Between 2005 and 2014 she completed the nine year shedra studies course at Namdroling monastery in South India. Since 2014 she has been a senior teacher at Thrangu Tara Abbey.
